  E                         A(9)           E               A(9)
I come to you with strange fire, I make an offering of love
    E              A(9)                 E               A(9)
The incense of my soul is burned by the fire in my blood
  E                   A(9)          E                          A(9)
I come with a softer answer to the questions that lie in your path
          E                    A(9)         E                  A(9)
I want to harbor you from the anger, find a refuge from the wrath


D(9)           E/A     D(9)            E/A
   This is a message,      a message of love
D(9)                        E/A         D(9)                  E/A
   Love that moves from the inside out,     love that never grows tired
B(4)                         A                E    A(9)  E   A(9)
   I come to you (I come to you) with strange fire,      fire
 

  E                    A(9)           E               A(9)
Mercenaries of the shrine, now who are you to speak for god?
  E                         A(9)           E               A(9)
With haughty eyes and lying tongues and hands that shed innocent blood
  E            A(9)           E             A(9)
Now who delivered you the power to interpret calvary?
  E             A(9)           E               A(9)
You gamble away our freedom to gain your own authority


D(9)              E/A                                D(9)              E/A
   Find another state of mind, you know it's time we all learned to grab hold
D(9)            E/A [tacet]              E    A(9)  E   A(9)
   Strange fire burns with the motion of love,      love

When you learn to love yourself, you will dissolve all the stones that are cast
  E                     A(9)           E               A(9)
You will learn to burn the icing sky and to melt the waxen mask
  E                             A(9)              E                 A(9)
I said to have the gift of true release, this is a peace gonna take you higher
  E                A(9)           E               A(9)
Oh I come to you with my offering, I bring you strange fire
